How often do you find yourself thinking, "After this week, I'm sure things will slow down"?
The two of us must say some version of this to each other every day. It helps make getting through this week easier.
When we say we hope things will slow down, what we really mean is that we want a reprieve from the mental load of managing everyday life for almost everyone all the time.
Mental load refers to the cognitive effort required to manage and remember everything in our daily lives while trying to anticipate everyone's needs. It's the background work required to keep things running smoothly, making sure everything is accounted for, and everyone's needs are met.
Three take-ways from this episode:
- We are all dealing with many things that other people don't see. So are they.
- Asking for help doesn't always feel helpful.
- Things don't slow down after this week.
